In 1897 Zona Shue died suddenly of apparent natural causes; the victim of what the kindly town doctor called, "everlasting faint." However, Zona's ghost would appear to her bereaved mother and insist she had been murdered, and the ghost's testimony would prove crucial in court. This is a TRUE story. The Greenbrier Ghost is the only time in the history of American Jurisprudence that the statements of a victim's ghost have been used in court against their killer. Find out what really happened on this episode Kinda Murdery.

This "Kinda Murdery Classic" originally aired on January 13, 2023...

he early life of Verle Peter Dills (twin brother of Merle Dills) reads like the opening scenes of a movie about an American golden boy. He was born in 1947, the early years of the baby boom, he was an honor student, an athlete and a student council member. But, somewhere along the way, things went sideways and by 2007, at age 60, Verle Dills became internationally famous as the man who spent years videotaping himself humping street signs - which sounds like an internet punchline, but the truth is much darker than that...What went so horribly wrong?

The conclusion of "A Cry from the Grave."

Moorestown, New Jersey is a quiet, beautiful Quaker settlement, much the same as a thousand other small American communities.  Along about dusk, the children drop their play, hurry home to their evening meal, and then go to bed.  Nobody would pick Moorestown as the scene of a dastardly crime. Still, it was there that real-life, New Jersey-super-sleuth Ellis H. Parker, encountered a case of killing perpetrated by a man, who was, beyond all doubt, the most fiendish and cunning arch-criminal he had ever come in contact with during 35 years of man-hunting!

Super detective Ellis H. Parker returns, not long after, "The Case of the Disappearing Parrot," for another tale of grim deeds in The Garden State.  Get ready for Kinda Murdery's, "A Cry from the Grave: An Ellis H. Parker Mystery!"

Tonight’s Kinda Murdery is True-Crime-Noir at its most hard-boiled. As always, everything you're about to hear really happened. 

John Brunen, a 47-year-old, wealthy circus owner known as, “Honest John,” is murdered in his own home before he even has a chance to draw the pistol he always carries. “Honest John’s" life ended when he was decapitated, shot from behind, his head literally blown off by a double-barrelled shotgun fired through a locked window by  a shadowy, light-footed killer.  Brunen’s wife Doris, a former broadway chorus girl, is upstairs when she hears the fatal blasts. But the killer didn’t know that Brunen was a close friend of New Jersey super-sleuth Ellis H. Parker.  Parker swears vengeance, promising not to rest until the murderer is found.  Parker's as good as his word.  But promises don't mean much without results.  After investigating 600 possible suspects, he can't single clue. Parker's hit a stone wall, and he can't help but wonder why someone removed Brunen's talking parrot from the scene of the murder....What will Ellis H. Parker do next? If you’re ready to find out, please join host Zevon Odelberg for Kinda Murdery’s telling of, "THE DISAPPEARING PARROT!"
